That doesn't make any sense at all... 16 gbs would give you a surplus of memory

Thats strange, it should give you at least 10 mins.

For a 32gb card...
1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m
960p (30 fps): 5h 26m
720p (60 fps): 4h 21
720p (30 fps): 8h 09m
WVGA (60 fps): 8h 09m

So for 1080p and 720p60 thats a little more than 8 mins per gig.

you guys are all idiots, its because it is a class 4 card rating that it cant capture more than 45 seconds without auto shutting off because it can't handle the high data transfer rate. Get a 16 gb class 6 and you should be all set. Class 8 or 10 if you are really anal about it but those are overkill imo.
